Hi Jehnii, my brother is in the f22 category . I guess this is under the f2a category which is current in the visa bulletin. Pd is Dec 2017 . We are currently waiting to get dq, does this mean once he gets dq an interview date will be available and he wouldn’t wait too long since he is current?
After dq he’ll still wait, cause they’re people waiting since march 2020 dq

Thanks for your response.
In regards to the visa bulletin...does the chart date change monthly?how does it work?
You said F1 is at Dec 2014 so long does it take to move over to the next month or year?do you have any idea?
Pls Jehnii can you chat me up on whatsapp with is number 08183900831,I will really appreciate,thanks
It was moving pre covid..but ever since late last year, the visa bulletin has seized to move, and so F1 have been stocked at dec 2014 for about 9months, same with other visa categories in family based.

Hi everyone,
Please I'm new here and would like to ask some questions
1.What catergory is F11?(cos that's my catergory)
2.If your petitioner was an legal permanent resident when he/she filed for you and then during the visa/NVC process he/she gets US citizenship will it affect or be of an advantage to the applicant(ie will it help in the visa process)
3.My pd was November 2015 and Dq April 2022 when how long will it take to be scheduled for an interview?
4.Is the effect of the backlog according to specific catergory or its affecting every catergory?
Thanks!
1. F11 is adult child(ren) of a US citizens

2. It’s not in any advantage, if your petitioner filed for you when he/she was a legal permanent resident, then it means you were in f2b. F2b current is faster than F1, as F2b is at sept 2015 and F1 is at dec 2014. Although you’re not current in either categories, but you have a better chance at F2b. If you’re already transferred to F1, write to nvc through this inquiry mail below and tell them to please change your category back to F2b. https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry

3. You can only be eligible to be scheduled for an interview when you become current in chart A of the vis bulletin. And right now, they’re at Sept 2015 for F2b, and dec 2014 for F1.

4. It’s affecting every category. Only that categories like F categories(F1-F4) are all affected way more than immediate relatives. But all are still affected by the backlog.

@jehnii I have filled in F4 and I got a date in August, please what can I do to get a date in either June or July?
Thank you for all you do.
Congratulations on getting a date, you’ll keep checking online, and if you see a closer gate, then take it.

OlamideA153:
Please I'm quite confused, Someone should please let to know the category I belong to now.

My step mother's sister in the US petitioned for me, my step mum and my little brother, that was the F4 category.

Our first interview, the 3 of us went to the embassy but we were asked to submit some documents via DHL.

The second interview, my name was not included cos they said that I'm over 21 and my brother is 18 but my step mom and brother were both granted visa.

Last month, I was asked to schedule my own interview and do the medical screening but my problem now is the category to fill, am I still in F4 or what?
Please is police report necessary cos they only requested for medical screening.

Please I'll appreciate your response, thank you.
Yes you’re still F4. If the last police report you did isn’t upto 2years, then don’t bother doing it and go for only medicals which they require.

Please do you know how long it takes to get scheduled for an interview??
Thanks
Like I said earlier, your case is expedited. Embassy won’t schedule interview for you..you’re the one to pick a date online when available. So make it a serious job to be checking for date online. You would eventually see, I know of someone who got a date by continuously checking online. Start from 8am to 1pm or even more than 1pm. Limit search to 3-4times a day.
The people embassy do schedule an appointment is those from nvc(those that didn’t expedite).

Alright, you can send your number here if you don’t mind. I’ll message you on seeing it.

@Jehnii, Thanks for the reply. We expedite the process based on health and medical reasons. We had to back up our claims with documentations thou before NVC approved the request.

I have a profile already created on https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ but its been really hard getting an appointment date. Will the embassy provide an interview date ?? Just curious

Thanks once again
Oh cool, thanks for explaining.

No, the embassy won’t provide. You’ll need to be checking for available date between 8am to 1pm everyday, and if you see any date, just pick..you could always check back and choose a closer date if you see a date that’s closer. Remember so many other persons like you are looking for dates..so don’t relent. Limit login on the site to 3-4times a day.

Hello Guys,

Please i need your advise in regards my case, My mom filed for me since 2013 with priority date April 2013. I had to expedite it from NVC to Lagos Consulate which was approved recently.

So here is my question, I got the Packet 4 Guidance from Lagos consulate but i cant find any available dates for interview. How do I schedule for an interview since there are no available dates on the us travel docs portal? Will the embassy provide an interview date for me or I need to reach out to them for interview availability?

Any suggestion & guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks
Congratulations, if you don’t mind can you share reason for expedite, maybe a short form..either medical reason or any other.

HI good morning glad to have come a cross this page for the first time please I need help with this, my mother inlsve filed for us we got approval 2012 f3 category but we are yet to be called please is there anything we need to do, priority date is Nov 2013
Is your priority date 2012 or 2013?. And for f3, they’re at November 2008 for those ready to be scheduled for an interview, and at August 2009 for those ready to start submitting documents. So you need to wait around 3-4years to start submitting documents and 5-6years to be eligible for an interview.

Hello everyone, I am new here...my brother filed for me in 2014 for the f4 category. i got approval of my petition yesterday that my case has been transferred to NVC. Please people what is the next stage and the duration to getting interview date? the petition took 8 years to be approved
Duration to getting interview date, with the backlog at the embassy, that’s another 9years from now. Without backlog or if cleared, then it’s 7years.
On the next stage, Its just to wait same 7years cause they’re at 2007 people that were filled for. So just go on with life and check back in 5-7years time.
Congratulations on your approval.

Good day All,
I didn't even know a group like this exists. Please forgive me if I sound a bit too naïve as this is my first time here and I am trying to take in a lot of information at once. I got a welcome and approval mail from NVC giving me my case number and some other links to pay my F1 immigrant fees, affidavit of support fees, etc. But I am unable to do this even though the 72 hours activation period has passed. I also see a message telling me that I am not eligible to process my application now and would be contacted once it is my time.
I want to know what is really going on as I heard this can take like another 5years or more before I can process my application. Please is this true and what should I expect at this stagehuh
N/B: Also, I don't know if this will help in giving me a good answer, I saw that my priority date was October 2019. What is priority date??
Please if you can send me other useful link for more information I will be grateful. Thanks All.
Priority date is when your petition was filled, right now people that are eligible to be interviewed after submission of documents are those whose petition were filled 2014, so meaning you have 5more years to wait to get to that stage. As for the stage of submission of documents, they’re at people that were filled for in 2016, so for this stage, you have 3more years to go. And that’s why you have those words in your ceac summary page telling you it not eligible for further processing.
TravelRe: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by Jehnii: 12:42pm On Nov 25, 2020
@tmfasterservices it’s to patiently wait for interview letter if you’re ir1 or cr1, if not then wait till when ban expires which is on dec 31st. It’s the waiting game now, and also do check your mails cause that’s where your interview letter will be sent.

@crisycent seems your case is different from the usuals or normal cause it ought to be this way�..check the image below. Or another way is to get your welcome letter and check for it. But atleast with what you sent it shows that your case was approved sometime around 2009.

TravelRe: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by Jehnii: 3:35pm On Nov 16, 2020
@crisycent you can get your priority date by logging into your ceac account where you filled ds260..check at the top right corner of the page..you’ll see where your priority date is stated there. Or better still your priority date is stated in your welcome letter, together with your invoice number. Then for your approval date just provide the first 4 numbers in your invoice number that comes after the alphabet..the one with LGS2*******, it’ll give atleast an idea of the year it was approved.
TravelRe: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by Jehnii: 9:04am On Nov 16, 2020
yes your daughter need to pay visa fee @crisycent..what is your priority date and also your approval date..so that I can determine if your daughter is eligible to go with you and also if you’re current to start submitting your civil documents..cause it might be that it’s cause you aren’t current yet that’s why you’re unable to submit documents.

Please gurus in the house I need help!!!!!

I have received my “welcome letter” from NVC. My petitioner have paid my IV & AOS fees. I have filled and completed my DS260.

The problem.....

I have collected all the relevant documents. I am unable to upload.

Question......

Who is to upload the documents? Me or the petitioner?

I am immigrating with my daughter, will she also pay visa fee? (My petitioner paid mine).

I tried paying additional fees on the portal (assuming my daughter is to pay IV & AOS fees) but it is not letting me.


What is your visa category and your priority date?

Guys pls if anyone can help me with the answer to where we can find our Alien number to pay the $220 green card fee. Thanks
[

quote author=zichien post=87194474]Guys I need help. We interviewed for an immigrant visa and got approved. We received a form saying to pay $220 to UCSIS for our green card preferably before entering the US. The thing is we were given a white form after collecting our passports that had A number and DOS no in the upper right corner, but those spaces were left blank. How does one go about paying UCSIS when we dont know our A number or DOS number? Has anyone encountered anything like this? The UCSIS wbesite also states that we are supposed to arrive with a package? We werent given any package?
Maybe you should try searching online..you might get what you’re looking for.
